Hello! I’m an Assistant Professor in Information Technology Management within the Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I received my PhD in Information System from the Stern School of Business at New York University in 2023, and my BS from the Special Class for the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China in 2017. My research focuses on personalization and recommender systems, spanning interpretable machine learning, consumer preference exploration, cross-domain recommendation, and multi-objective recommendation.
